2. Global daily energy consumption in million barrels of oil equivalent Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2009, http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/globalbp_uk_english/reports_and_publications/statistical_energy_review_2008/STAGING/loval_as sets/2009_downloads/renewables_section_2009.pdf

3. How much is 226 million barrels of oil? Saudi Arabia’s daily oil production: 8.5 million barrels of oil per day. Each day, 26.6 Saudi Arabias worth of oil equivalent is consumed

4. Converting barrels of oil to power 1 barrel of oil = 5.8 million BTU 5.8 million BTU ≈ 5.8 GJ (billion joules) Remember, Power = Energy/time 5,800,000,000J/86,400 seconds = 22,152 W*Days 22,152 W = 29.7 horsepower.*day 1 barrel of oil ≈ 30 horsepower*Day

5. World energy consumption 1 barrel of oil ≈ 30 horsepower Total global daily energy consumption rate is 6.8 billion horsepower This roughly equals 1 horsepower/person Energy distribution isn’t even Note that 1 horsepower ≈ 746 W

6. Energy consumption per capita Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2009, http://www.bp.com/liveassets/globalbp/glovalbp_uk_english/reports_and_publications/statistical_energy_review_2008/STAGING/local_assets/2009_downl oads/renewables_section2009.pdf; Central Intellegance Angency, World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/library/publicaitons/the-world-factbook/

7. United States leads the world in energy production: 1 st in Nuclear energy production 2 nd in Coal production (behind China) 2 nd in Natural Gas production (behind Russia) 3 rd in Oil production (behind Saudi Arabia and Russia) 4 th in Hydroelectric production

8. United States: - produces 74% of the primary energy it consumes - provides massive amounts of energy to its citizens Massive energy production and consumption has made the U.S. economy boom United States Energy Production

9. United States Energy Reserves United States has 970 billion barrels of oil equivalent in reserve (906 billion barrels equivalent is in coal) Russia has 955 billion barrels of oil equivalent China is at 466 billion barrels of oil equivalent
